Little Saigon, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>, California<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> has now officially designated a Little Saigon on Larkin Street in the<br />
Tenderloin district. Long being a major Vietnamese community (unlike <strong>San</strong> Jose with its<br />
larger ethnic Vietnamese population, the ethnic Chinese from Vietnam are especially<br />
represented in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> as a result of self-imposed segregation from ethnic<br />
Vietnamese), and attracting Vietnamese from <strong>San</strong> Jose, a number of community activists<br />
have supported making this Tenderloin neighborhood into a Little Saigon. Soon, there<br />
will be an official entrance constructed, much in the same way as the Japantown and<br />
Chinatown in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>. Read more from the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Chronicle here.<br />
Marina District, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>,<br />
California<br />
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />
The Marina District is an affluent, picturesque neighborhood of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>,<br />
California. The area is bounded to the east by Van Ness Ave, on the west by Lyon Street<br />
and the Presidio, on the south by Lombard St. The neighborhood sits on the site of the<br />
1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, staged after the 1906 <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong><br />
earthquake to celebrate the reemergence of the world-class city. The grounds for this<br />
world's fair were created from a former lagoon on landfill. Aside from the Palace of Fine<br />
Arts (POFA), all other buildings were demolished to make a residential neighborhood.<br />
Many current residents are what the natives refer to as transplants.
